The Ford 4R100 transmission is an updated version of the E4OD and was first introduced in the 1999 model
year, and is currently found in the F250, F350, F450 and F550 Super Duty trucks, E150, E250, E350, E450 vans
and the Expedition/Navigator/Excursion vehicles equipped with the 5.4L, 6.8L, and 7.3L engines. Some of the
4R100 units are equipped with a Power-T ake-Off (PT O) window on the left hand side of the transmission case.
The revisions in the 4R100 have created many new engineering changes that have affected many of the internal
and external parts that will affect the servicing, repairing and overhaul of these units.

Assembly Part Number, Prefix And Suffix1
Transmission Model
The Ford 4R100 automatic transmission is a four
forward speed unit with electronic shift control. It is
designed for longitudinal powertrains for rear wheel
drive vehicles.
The 4R100 transmission features a four element
torque converter design that includes Torque
Converter Clutch (TCC) and a gear train that includes
three planetary gearsets.
Some models provide for Power Take Off (PTO)
operation in all transmission shift lever positions.
During PTO operation in OD, 4th gear is disabled.
The hydraulic control system of the 4R100 unit has
five electronically controlled solenoids for:
Shift feel, through line pressure control.
Shift scheduling, through shift valve position.
Engine braking during coast conditions.
TCC apply (On/Off or Modulating).
V ehicles equipped with the 4R100 transmission have
a Transmission Control Switch (TCS), also referred to
as "Overdrive Cancel Switch", and a Transmission
Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL), located on the end of
the manual gear shift lever, as shown in Figure 3. The
TCS is a momentary contact switch. When this
switch is pressed, a signal is sent to the PCM to allow
automatic shifts from 1st to 4th gear or from 1st to 3rd
gear. After the TCS has been pressed the PCM turns
on the TCIL lamp ("OFF"), to indicate that overdrive
has been canceled, as shown in Figure 3.
The shift quadrant has the following positions, as
shown in Figure 2: P , R, N, D , 2 and 1.
D position (TCS OFF) provides 1-2-3-4 automatic
upshifts and downshifts. Coast braking occurs in 4th
gear. (TCIL Not Illuminated)
D position (TCS ON) provides 1-2-3 automatic
upshifts and downshifts. Coast braking occurs in 3rd
gear. (TCIL Illuminated)
2 position provides a pull-in shift to 3rd gear with
coast braking. After an automatic downshift, a 2nd
gear hold occurs with coast braking.
1 position provides a pull-in shift to 2nd gear with
coast braking. After an automatic downshift, a 1st
gear hold occurs with coast braking.
OD-3rd** = TCS "On" with TCIL illuminated showing "Off"
*On = If the PCM determines that powertrain operating conditions exist for TCC apply, the TCC solenoid may
be On (Modulating with PWM TCC units) in any forward gear except Manual 1st.
*Off = Will be "On", if the TCS switch is pushed.
Mod = Modulating at all times by the PCM and line pressure will be regulated based on throttle position,
Obviously the case must be PTO capable with
the cast-in window in the transmission where the
PTO unit mounts to the transmission, as shown in
Figure 5.
(2)
Designed for use during Mobile (Some Models)
or Stationary conditions.
(3)
PTO is available as an option only on 8500 GVW
or above, Super Duty F-Series trucks with 6.8L
Gasoline and 7.3L Diesel engines. Ford 4R100
transmissions on other models are not PTO
capable.
(4)
Battery voltage must be supplied to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) input pin 4
on gasoline models, or pin 66 on diesel models,
when the PTO is engaged. The processor uses
this information to raise EPC pressure to
approximately 55 PSI so that you do not burn the
coast clutch. This voltage must be provided by
the PTO installer .
(5)
Shift Solenoid 2 and the Coast Clutch Solenoid
must be energized when the PTO is turned ON.
Shift Solenoid 2 and Coast Clutch Solenoids are
turned on, the coast clutch activates and does not
allow 4th gear operation during PTO operation.

"GENERAL" CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION
(1)
The vehicle is not in the crank or start mode.
(2)
The transmission range selector must be in the P,
R, O.D, 2 or 1 position. The PTO will not operate
when selector is in the neutral position.
(3)
PTO operation is inhibited when in cranking
mode, neutral, or 4th gear.
(4)
Transmission only operates 1st through 3rd
gears. Computer strategy does not allow 4th
gear to engage, under any conditions.
(5)
Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor (TFT)
reading must be up to operating temperature.
GASOLINE ENGINE PTO OPERATION:
(1)
PTO installer must obtain a "High Idle Throttle
Control" from an aftermarket source.
(2)
Auxiliary Powertrain Control Module seen on
Page seven, does not work on the gasoline engine
models. APCM module works only on the 7.3L
diesel engine.
(3)
For stationary PTO operation an engine idle
speed of 1300 RPM is required.
(2)
Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) pressure is
raised to approximately 55 PSI. This is why the
coast clutch will be smoked in a short period of
time if a battery voltage wire is not supplied to
EEC input pin 4 (gasoline) or pin 66 (diesel)
when the PTO is engaged, as this rise in pressure
would not occur.
(3)
The Transmission Control Indicator Lamp
(TCIL) illuminates.
(4)
When the PTO is turned ON, the transmission
operates only in 1st through 3rd gears.
Overdrive 4th gear is not allowed by the PCM
strategy.
(5)
The transmission shift schedule is early and shift
feel is very firm.
(6)
PTO operation can cause transmission fluid
temperature to exceed the recommended
maximum limit of 250 degrees F. Failure mode
logic within PCM strategy prevents transmission
damage by disabling the PTO above this
temperature limit.
(4)
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) engages

Technical Service Information
DIESEL ENGINE PTO OPERATION:
"AUXILIARY" POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
7.3L DIESEL ENGINE (ONLY)
The Auxiliary Powertrain Control Module (APCM) commands the Electronic Engine Control
(EEC) module to increase the idle speed during PTO operation. The APCM controls engine
speed from 1300 to 2500 RPM.
The Auxiliary Powertrain Control Module is a seperate option, it does not come standard with a
PTO capable transmission, and is for 7.3L diesel applications only .
Intended for stationary use only, and in stationary operation the PT O requires an engine idle speed
of 1300 RPM. During stationary PTO operation on the 7.3L diesel, the EEC increases the idle to
1300 RPM automatically.
During stationary PTO operation, the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) engages once the RPM
reaches 1200-1300 RPM.
The following conditions must be met before the idle speed is increased:
1. Parking brake must be engaged for all applications.
2. No hydraulic brake actuation.
3. Accelerator pedal must be in the idle position.
4. V ehicle speed must be zero MPH.
5. Brake lights must be functional.

CHARGE PROTECTIONAPPLICATION
Charge Protection is used for maintaining battery charge.
In Charge Protection mode, the battery voltage is monitored and the
engine idle speed is increased as necessary, so the battery charge is
maintained as required.
Charge Protection can be activated from in-cab and can be
programmed to activate automatically on engine start-up.
RPM CONTROL
RPM Control is used for
RPM Control mode can be
activated from in-cab and
can be programmed to
activate automatically on
engine start-up.
The programmable speed
presets range from 1300 to
This is the recommended
method of elevating idle
speed for PTO operations.

Always ensure that PTO is turned OFF, before
any diagnostic procedures begin.
(2)
Never perform any transmission special tests
(i.e. pressure test, stall test etc.) when the PTO is
turned ON.
(3)
If a transmission concern or symptom goes
away with the PTO turned OFF , it is most likely
not a transmission concern.
(4)
On Board Diagnostics operate normally during
PTO operation with the exception of the engine
misfire monitor. The circuit checks made by the
PCM and Failure Mode Effect Management
(FMEM) capability will continue. The PTO
must be turned OFF to access Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's) and perform OBD tests.
Caution: If the batteries are disconnected for any
reason, the PCM "must" have a 7 mile drive cycle at
speeds above 50 MPH, before it remembers that it is
capable of running a PTO
CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX
FUSE 19
Red/Yellow
ELECTRICAL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (Diesel Only)
The Accelerator Pedal (AP) position sensor is
mounted on the accelerator pedal inside the vehicle
and detects the position of the accelerator pedal and
sends this information as a varying voltage signal to
the PCM. The PCM then uses the monitored voltage
level of the AP sensor for control of EPC pressure and
shift scheduling.
The Idle Validation Switch is fed voltage through
fuse number 19, as well as the Transmission Control
Switch, as shown in Figure 7.
If the Idle Validation Switch feed voltage is lost for
any reason, the engine will immediately return to
idle and stay there until feed voltage is restored.
4X4 Low Switch
The 4X4 Low Switch is used to the PCM that the
transfer case system is operating in LOW range. The
PCM receives the 4X4 Low Switch input signal and
modifies shift scheduling for the lower gear ratio
(See Figure 8).
If the 4X4 LOW indicator fuse is blown, the
transmission will shift according to the 4X4 LOW
shift schedule, regardless of transfer case lever
position.
Transmission Control Switch (TCS)
Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) (Std Trans Only)
The Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor is a magnetic
pickup that sends the PCM a frequency signal related
to the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft.
The TSS mounts on the top front of the case on some
models, as shown in Figure 9. W e have also provided
you with the resistance readings and OEM part
numbers on both Turbine Speed Sensors, as the PTO
and Non-PTO models use different sensors, as shown
in Figure 9.
The PCM uses the TSS sensor signal to control EPC
pressure and TCC strategy .
Turbine Shaft Speed Sensor
PTO Models Only = 496-1244 Ohms Resistance
Part Number F81Z-7M101-BA
Non PTO Models Only = 781-1979 Ohms Resistance
Part Number F81Z-7M101-AA
The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor is a magnetic
pickup that sends the PCM a frequency signal related
to the rotating speed of the transmission output shaft.
The OSS sensor was added to the top of extension
housing, as shown in Figure 10. The OSS is triggered
by an added rotor pressed onto the output shaft. The
park gear is also now pressed onto the output shaft,
and the number 13 thrust washer has changed to a
thrust bearing, as shown in Figure 11. We have
provided you with the resistance reading and the
OEM part number for the output shaft speed sensor.
Refer to Figure 10 for output shaft speed sensor
information.
The PCM uses the OSS sensor signal to control EPC
pressure, shift scheduling and TCC strategy .
The Park Gear is also a press fit to the output
shaft, and the number 13 thrust washer, between
the case and the park gear has been replaced
with a needle bearing.
The Digital Transmission Range (DTR) sensor has a
twelve pin electrical connector and is located on the
outside of the transmission at the manual lever, as
shown in Figure 12.
The DTR sensor completes the start circuit in Park
and Neutral, the backup lamp circuit in Reverse, and
the neutral sense circuit (4WD Only) when in Neutral.
The DTR sensor also opens or closes a set of four
different switches that are monitored by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to determine the
position of the transmission manual lever. Refer to
Figure 13.
DTR TESTING PROCEDURE
In Figure 13 we have provided you with pin number
identification for both the transmission range sensor
and the vehicle harness. We have also provided a
chart that will give you the open/closed state of each
internal switch, dependent on selector position, and
notice that three positions read a 270W resistor, that is
also internal.
Note: All testing that we have provided for you is
done with a DVOM, set to the ohms position, and all
tests are performed with the ignition switch in the
"OFF" position.

LINE PRESSURE TEST
NOTE: Perform the line pressure test before
performing the "Stall" test. If the line pressure is
low at "Idle", DO NOT perform the "Stall" test or
further transmission damage will occur.
Do Not Maintain Wide Open Throttle in any gear
range for more than "5 Seconds" or transmission
damage may occur.
NOTE: If equipped, turn "Off" the PTO unit to
ensure proper test results.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with PTO units,
access to the line pressure port may require that you
remove the PTO unit depending on the type of unit
installed. If required, remove the PTO unit and
install PTO cover and gasket "Before" doing the
line pressure test.
1. Install a 300 psi line pressure gauge to the line
pressure tap, as shown in Figure 24.
2. Start the engine and check line pressure in all
ranges at "Idle". Refer to the chart shown in
Figure 24 to determine if they are within the
specifications.
3. If the line pressures are within the specifications
at "Idle", now you can perform the "Stall" test
to determine if specifications are okay there.
4. Once again, refer to the chart in Figure 24, to
determine proper specifications at "Stall".

Technical Service Information
FORD 4R100
"NON-PTO" AND "PTO"
HYDRAULIC DIFFERENCES
CHANGE:
REASON:
PAR TS AFFECTED:
Begining at the start of production for 1999 models, Ford Motor Company made available a "Power
Take Off" option for some F250, F350, F450 and F550 Super Duty Trucks, equipped with 5.4L,
6.8L and 7.3L engines.
The "PTO" option addition, to the 4R100, required many changes to the transmission to make the
"PTO" function. The "PTO" window, added to the case, the "PTO" drive gear and other cosmetic
changes were covered on Page 6 in this manual. Hydraulic changes also had to be made to make
the coast clutch operate in ranges other than the Drive ranges (See Figure 35).
(1)
TRANSMISSION CASE: The transmission case was changed to accommodate the "PTO"
window, as shown in this manual. All 4R100 Cases, "NON-PTO"and "PTO,"also had a "Dam"
added to seperate "Rear Lube" and to incorporate "Central Lube"as shown in Figure 25.
(2)
VALVE BODY TO CASE SPACER PLATE: The Valve Body to Case Spacer plate on the "PTO"
versions had a hole added to supply the 3-4 Shift V alve with Line Pressure, as shown in Figure 27. A
hole was also added to the Spacer Plate on "NON-PTO" and "PTO" versions to connect "Solenoid
Regulator Valve" oil to supply "Central Lubrication." Refer to Figures 26 and 27 for identification
of "NON-PTO"and "PTO" Valve Body T o Case Spacer Plates.
(3)
MAIN VALVE BODY: A passage was added on the "Upper Side" of the Main Valve Body on
"PTO" versions, as shown in Figure 29, to supply Line Pressure to the 3-4 Shift Valve. A passage
was also added, on the "Lower Side" of the Main Valve Body, to connect the 3-4 Shift Valve (Coast
Clutch Circuit) to an exhaust as shown in Figure 31. The spring side of the 3-4 Shift Valve was also
seperated from the Low/Reverse circuit as shown in Figure 31. Refer to Figures 28 thru 31 for
identification of "NON-PTO" and "PTO" Main Valvebody's.
(4)
LOWER VALVE BODY: The Lower Valve Body has a passage added, as shown in Figure 33, to
connect to the "new"exhaust passage in the Main Valve Body. Refer to Figures 32 and 33, for
identification of "NON-PTO" and "PTO" Lower Valvebody's.
(5)
LOWER VAL VE BODY SPACER PLATE: The Lower Valve Body Spacer Plate had a hole added
to connect the "new" exhaust passage in the Main Valve Body to the "new" exhaust passage in the
Lower Valve body a shown in Figure 34. Refer to Figure 34 for "NON-PTO" and "PTO" Lower
V alve Body Spacer Plate identification.
INTERCHANGEABILITY :
None of the parts listed above will interchange between "NON-PTO" and "PTO" versions.
